With security updates being released regularly, it is important to make sure that you’re on the latest version of Oliver v5. Stay up to date by checking the release notes in the Customer Support Portal.

Automatic updates in Oliver v5

Did you know that your school can have updates to Oliver v5 applied automatically, as soon as they are made available by the Softlink Development Team? This means that library staff have peace of mind that their system is secure and can access all the newest functionality immediately, with no effort required from your IT staff.

All updates approved for automatic download have passed Softlink’s extensive testing process. The updates are applied automatically to your Oliver v5 system during weekends, so library staff don’t experience any down time.

How to turn on auto updates in Oliver v5

If you would like to turn on the auto update function in your Oliver v5 system, you can find instructions by logging into the Oliver v5 Community Portal. Click on:
